Answer 1

From the Greek City of Corinth.

Answer 2

These sites have wonderful maps and details that I found nowhere else. I found "dated maps" within this site and leave it for your exploration. I did not find any origination materials for the inhabitants in this search but I imagine some others will have that for you. The Corintheans were from the city of Corinth. Have fun...

Answer 3

CORINTH was “a renowned and voluptuous city, where the vices of East and West met.” Situated on the narrow isthmus between the Peloponnesus and continental Greece, Corinth commanded the land route to the mainland. In the days of the apostle Paul, its population of about 400,000 was exceeded only by Rome, Alexandria, and Syrian Antioch. To the east of Corinth lay the Aegean Sea, and to the west, the Gulf of Corinth and the Ionian Sea. So Corinth, the capital of the province of Achaia, with its two ports of Cenchreae and Lechaeum, held a position of strategic importance commercially. It was also a center of Greek learning. “Its wealth,” it has been said, “was so celebrated as to be proverbial; so were the vice and profligacy of its inhabitants.” Among its pagan religious practices was the worship of Aphrodite (counterpart of the Roman Venus). Sensuality was a product of Corinthian worship.

It was to this thriving but morally decadent metropolis of the Roman world that the apostle Paul traveled in about 50 C.E. During his stay of 18 months, a Christian congregation was established there.

Answer 4

The Corinthians were inhabitants of the city of Corinth, which still exists today, about 50 miles southeast of Athens in Greece. The letters Paul wrote were to people in that city who had accepted Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

Greeks...
The City of Corinth is just west of Athens, Greece. Its current citizens would be right there in modern day Korinthos.

The Church at Corinth was made up of several small church groups, most likely similar to a home-style church, meeting in private homes rather than a central church building.

Answer 6

Corinth is a Greek city that Paul wrote to in order to correct some heretical teachings that had infiltrated the church. The city still exists.

Answer 7

Corinth was, and is, a city in Greece. So the Corinthians are the inhabitants of that city.
